ISIS Recruit Essay

The issue in the article “What should the U.S. do about ISIS? Show Sunnis we care” by Charles Lister is “How should the United States respond to ISIS.” Proof of this issue can be found in Lister’s writing. In the first paragraph he states that the United States cannot defeat ISIS militarily. The U.S. must help improve the sociopolitical issues in the Middle East. These two statements answer the issue I put forth. The second and third paragraphs discuss how ISIS has not only attracted foreigners to fight in its jihad; it has also befriended the oppressed Sunni Muslims. The Sunnis, consequently, are allowing ISIS to work freely in their territory. Paragraph three asks the question are the Sunnis still loyal to their country, or are they only loyal to their religion

America is torn betwixt the dispatchment of American ground troops to fight the terrorist group Isis. The Isis ideology and vision consists of the restoration of the caliphate of early Islam and pledging allegiance to it. Isis regards to maintain the purification of Islamic society, they must fight non-Muslim countries. This desire of a pure Islamic society has precipitated harm on several non-Muslim countries, and even on their own country. The American government is considering sending our ground troops to fight Isis, however, the negatives to sending ground troops to fight Isis are monumental.

The United States is fronting the conflict against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant; therefore, we feel strongly inclined to support the inhibition of online recruiting tactics used by ISIL. Previous attempts to thwart the online presence of ISIL have been misguided and incomprehensive - and have thus faltered against high expectations. Our reasoning for this stance is because in the past year alone, an estimated hundreds of recruits have joined ISIL through online mediums - additionally, ISIL has encouraged and coaxed recruits into committing domestic

Isis Cult in Egypt and Rome The worship of Isis originated in Egypt where she held various positions and roles extending from myth describing her as sister, and wife of Osiris. These involved being mother and protector of her son Horus, symbolic mother of the king, goddess of “cosmic associations”, “great of magic”, and mourner, maintainer, and protector of the deceased (Wilkinson 2003, pp. 146-149). Knowledge of Isis spread through the contact of sailors, merchants, and soldiers (Wortham 2006, p.104), directly impacting Roman religious tradition.

During the 1990s, Osama bin Laden, a fundamentalist militant and leader of Al-Qaeda, issued several fatwas (legal edicts) opposed to the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia. By middle of 1996, Al-Qaeda was barely functioning as a terrorist organization, and had only thirty members. Facing irrelevance and anxious that he was losing his leadership role over Islamist militants worldwide, bin Laden, announced a "blessed jihad" to oppose the United States and its Western allies on August 23, 1996 (Bruce, et al., 2005). As part of this jihad, bin Laden declared war on the United States, which he intended to recruit new members for Al- Qaeda. This effort failed.

United States Army Recruiting has gone through numerous challenges in war time. Even during the peace time, recruiting command engages on real time mission day after day, month after month. I can clearly say that the command was in war of accomplishing mission of providing strength of all volunteer Army well before the 911. It takes a gut, total commitment, and winner's attitude for accomplishing mission regardless of the situation. I am really glad that I am in the honored profession called Army Recruiting that gave me so much of what I am supposed to be and better person period.

The purpose of my paper is to construct a picture in your mind of the cult of Isis during the fourth century. In an attempt, I will describe Isis, the cult ceremonies, and the society around them dealing with the cult

President Obama stated in his Anti-Terror Strategy address, "We continue to face a terrorist threat. We cannot erase every trace of evil from the world, and small groups of killers have the capacity to do great harm. That was the case before 9/11, and that remains true today” (Obama).The Middle East today is composed of very complicated religious tensions, unstable states, and rising terrorist organizations. The collapse of central governments and the rise of powerful non-state actors breed problems that foreign powers and the world’s only superpower, simply should begin to address. Many argue that the involvement in the Middle East is not our problem and that it will only cause our national debt to increase. As human beings we must began to realize the crimes against humanity occurring in the region and ask ourselves one question, can we truly turn a blind eye to the hundreds of innocent people dying and at what cost? The United States of America must get involved in the Middle East to ensure justice is achieved and maintained. Our interference will decrease the chances of terrorist attacking U.S. soil, and our military involvement will save the lives of many innocent citizens caught up in the turmoil. The United States must protect its interests and allies in the region. America stands for freedom, justice, and dignity; we must take a stand to defend ourselves and those in need, if we truly want to uphold the

After the Paris attacks men and women around the world are preparing for the start of a war. A war that will take them far from home, and could end their lives, all because of one group called ISIS. ISIS began as a group to persecute their fellow Muslims, and have since expanded their reach. Now ISIS has attacked innocent citizens of Paris. This proves that it does not matter your race, age, or faith no one is safe. The President of Paris has declared this ‘an act of war’ (Cohen). This declaration of war, allows the President of Paris to use the NATO treaty. In this treaty, if there is an attack against one country, it is against them all (Cohen). In this case Cohen is stating that North America must get involved in the ISIS situation. There is no time for words. There is only time for action. Cohen argues that there is too much at stake for everyone to sit back and wait for the opportune moment. It is time to fight. He is arguing that it is time for the United States to station troops and rid the world of ISIS.

President Obama’s strategic plan in Iraq and Syria is to continue Airstrikes to slow the forward progression of ISIS, while utilizing deployed U.S. service members to work with coalition partners to assist with partner building capacities. These partners include “Iraqi Security Forces, Kurdish Peshmerga forces, and moderate Syrian fighters, and both Sunni and Shia militia groups.”3 To be successful in this endear as mentioned by Sec Carter, “the only way to have a lasting defeat of ISIL is to have someone who can govern and secure territory once ISIL is defeated, a local force on the ground. That 's why the strategy calls for the United States to help train and equip, and then help enable local ground forces.”4 Without basic security the Government of Iraq (GOI)

Social class is what defines humans. We are classified based on our wealth, power, authority and prestige in society. Social class can alter your morals as diverse social classes possess different moral values. In The Book Thief, there are several characters who all come from a lower social class, yet some have different personal morals. How the characters used their social class is what makes their personal morals different.

The biggest issue our military is facing while engaging in conflict with terrorist groups, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is that these groups are not abiding by the Laws of Armed Conflict and the Rules of Engagement. These terrorist groups are using tactics that are not discriminate and are not proportional to the military advantage gained. For example, the use of IEDs can be characterized as an act by the terrorist group that is indiscriminate. The purpose of these IEDs is to inhibit the movement of the American forces but the IEDs are put in random places along routes and could kill civilians instead of soldiers. The enemy’s main mission is to kill the U.S soldiers and any other organizations that go against their belief system. They will employ any tactic they see necessary in order to accomplish their goal, such as attacking innocent civilians, who are not taking part in the conflict. This action taken by these terrorist organizations can make it difficult for officers to encourage their soldiers to abide by the rules and

Recruitment of the United States military is a vital part of maintaining an all volunteer military force. Because of recent world events and the high operations tempo of the military, Army has had some problems with its recruitment. Convincing civilians to sign up to be a solider can be a tough job when it requires being sent 7,000 miles from home to go fight in a war zone. What can recruiters do to keep

When the average person imagines what the typical terrorist looks like, they would not describe any of the defining characteristics of the average IRA soldier whether physically or tactically. White Irish-accented men and women carrying around assault rifles as well as planting bombs does not seem like the stereotypical terrorist. While it would be untrue that there has never been a white terrorist in the modern era because there has, such as Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, and the Ted Kaczynski. They still would not fit the stereotypical terrorist of the modern century. Most modern predominantly white countries are free in terms of not being oppressed by greater powers such as another country or their own country. Most of these

In the contemporary society, there are an increasing number of people paying great attention to child’s behavior. At the same time, a hot debate has also appeared, revolving around this topic. Some people believe that child’s behavior is a reflection of their home life. However, in the story “Burn Yours Maps”, was written by Robyn Joy Leff, he totally disagrees with this point. In his story, the protagonist, Wes wants to be a Mongolian and imagines his life as a nomad Mongolian. This idea from him doesn’t come from his family, neither from his mother nor father. None is Mongolian in Wes’s family, even his grandpa Firth was telling stories to Wes, but he never referred to Mongolian. It is clearly to see that Wes, himself wants to be a Mongolian without any reflection of his family. Leff uses two points of view and an emotional writing technique to support his arguments. The most important point is that the conflict between three main characters through the whole story. Wes’s father, Connor wants to prevent him to be a Mongolian and his mother, Allies kind of understands her son and tying to persuade Conner and protect Wes in her own way at the same time. Leff also uses conversation between Conner and Allies to express that Wes’s behavior is not reflection form them. In the end, Leff uses his unique emotion writhing technique to show that even Wes’s parents are not support him to be a Mongolian, he still insists his own idea to be what kind of person that he wants
